Chapter 222 Educational Reform
This kind of tool for drilling around the rope, Li Changfeng used it when he saw his grandfather in his hometown when he was a child in his previous life, and it is an ancient drilling tool that has long been eliminated by the times.
The biggest feature of its structure is that there is a large weight of wood on the central axis, and the rotational inertia of the wooden block is used to make holes in the wood.
It is a common tool used by old carpenters in the old era.
When decorating the store several times, Li Changfeng has also seen this kind of tool in this world, and the design ideas are similar, but the shape is slightly different.
It's no surprise that this kid has seen such a tool.
But it is not easy to invent a toy for yourself based on this tool, which fully demonstrates its ability to observe things.
This toy is made by himself, and his hands-on ability is also extraordinary, you must know that this is a seven or eight-year-old child.
This child has great potential, and the scientific research institute needs this kind of talent with strong observation and practical ability, and Li Changfeng has a heart of love for talent.
"Very good, you don't have to go to the coal mine, go back to the capital with this prince."
Li Changfeng decided to hand over this child to Liang Dafu for training, and he may be able to become the pillar of the scientific research institute in the future.
The little boy was naturally overjoyed, and the other refugees were only envious.
Li Changfeng told his subordinates to provide food and buy warm clothes for these refugees, and then got in the car and left.
As for the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were still kneeling, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and it was not bad to cut them down on the spot.
It's impossible to let them go, though.
Such people must be severely punished.
After returning home, Li Changfeng took a comfortable hot bath under the service of Bingbing and Xiaotong, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Because of overwork with the two girls, Li Changfeng slept directly until almost noon the next day before waking up.
After scribbling and eating something, Li Changfeng came to the palace.
Yesterday's incident with that little boy gave him a lot of inspiration, and he had something to talk about with Emperor Qianwu.
Emperor Qianwu was very happy to see Li Changfeng, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I am finally willing to come to see me." β
Li Changfeng smiled: "Is that okay?" Erchen specially came to see your father, and by the way, I would like to say something. β
Emperor Qianwu snorted and said, "I know that you stinky boy is not so filial, is it for the sake of refugees?" β
Li Changfeng was also going to talk about this matter, nodded and said, "That's right, it's about refugees." β
"I already know this, the snow is indeed a bit heavy this year, and there have been house collapses in some areas, but fortunately, there are not many people affected by the disaster, and I have arranged for people to help the disaster, so it is not a big problem."
Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu paused for a moment, looked at Li Changfeng with a look of relief, and praised: "Your practice of cashing in for work is very good, it has given these people a way to live, and it has also solved a trouble for the imperial court, I am very happy." β
Li Changfeng smiled casually in response, and then changed the conversation.
"There is another thing, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division actually drove the refugees, and even threatened to kill the refugees, do you know?"
Emperor Qianwu arranged a large number of masters to protect Li Changfeng, and he knew exactly what Li Changfeng encountered every day, and he was already holding back a fire in his heart.
Now that Li Changfeng mentioned this again, his face suddenly sank.
"I already know that in order to whitewash the peace, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division actually drove and beat up the refugees, and I have already asked Gao Dali to investigate, and all the crimes should be punished heavily!"
Emperor Qianwu's voice was cold, containing murderous intent.
The Five Cities Terracotta Division is actually five departments.
They are the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, the South City Soldiers and Horses Command Division, the West City Soldiers and Horses Command Division, the North City Soldiers and Horses Command Division and the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division.
The five divisions are responsible for the daily maintenance of public security in the capital, and they are independent of each other and supervise each other, and there is no subordinate relationship and more of a competitive relationship, which is a system inherited from the previous dynasty.
Whichever division has good law and order, it will be recognized by the upper peak, which will be beneficial to the official career.
The influx of refugees will inevitably lead to the aggravation of regional security problems, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will drive out the refugees.
This move would undoubtedly cause public resentment, and Emperor Qianwu was furious when he learned about it, and decided to purge the institution completely.
Seeing that Emperor Qianwu had already made arrangements, Li Changfeng stopped talking nonsense, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Father Emperor is wise!" β
Then he changed the conversation and asked: "Father, what do you think of the current imperial examination system of Daqian?" β
Li Changfeng's topic jumped too fast, and Emperor Qianwu's thinking was a little unable to keep up, so he was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's good, why did you suddenly ask about this?" β
"Is it really good?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Li Changfeng's expression was solemn: "Erchen thinks that the current imperial examination system is very problematic!" β
Emperor Qianwu's expression suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Tell me what the problem is." β
Li Changfeng held up a finger.
"First, what is the current imperial examination system? It is the words of a Confucian sage, how many of these people can have real talent and hard work in addition to dancing and writing? Can the great cadres prosper on these people alone? No! β
"Father, look at the scientific research institute of your sons, how many sages do they know? But they have made indelible contributions to the development of Daqian! β
Emperor Qianwu thought it was true, and nodded involuntarily.
Li Changfeng raised a second finger.
"Second, now that we are doing a great job, the imperial examination is the only opportunity for the people to change their fate, how many people are immersed in reading the books of sages all day long, and these people have never really come into contact with the people's livelihood at all!"
"Father, think about it, can such a person who only understands the great truth in books really understand the people and their needs? Can such a person help you govern the world well? β
These words reached the heart of Emperor Qianwu.
There are indeed many such officials in the court who can only say decent words but do not have much practical ability, which also leads to the failure to implement many of his decrees, and even difficult to implement.
Emperor Qianwu showed a thoughtful look.
Li Changfeng raised his third finger.
"Finally, the current imperial examination system has been somewhat rectified, the relationship between teachers and disciples is prevalent, nepotism is serious, and for many years, students have regarded themselves as protΓ©gΓ©s of some powerful ministers, resulting in a very serious imagination of forming gangs and protecting officials, father, think about it, how dangerous is this?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Qianwu's face showed deep helplessness.
Teacher-disciple relationship, nepotism, how can he not know?
How could he not know about the formation of gangs?
There have been Ming monarchs in all dynasties, how can they not know?
But he couldn't help it!
The imperial examination system, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is it so easy to change?
Emperor Qianwu sighed and said helplessly: "Changfeng, how can you not know what you are talking about? But there's no way around it. β
Li Changfeng smiled.
"Who says there's no way? Reform of the education system is not enough. β
Emperor Qianwu became interested: "How to change?" β
